If there is a problem that arises then John should take care of it at his business, or he should hang a sign saying it is allowed in the building. Overabundance of laws is what is giving our cuntry issues right now, and people just need to use some common sense to take care of some problems.Audree_buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098720984946855449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54127916538262459.post-50582448093427309612012-04-09T11:41:34.196-07:002012-04-09T11:41:34.196-07:00I'm with you and cannot understand how or why ...I'm with you and cannot understand how or why people have such issue with breast feeding in public.V and Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10414740090960682602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54127916538262459.post-53433293662515118562012-04-05T20:38:00.010-07:002012-04-05T20:38:00.010-07:00Why is there the assumption that if I don't us...Why is there the assumption that if I don't use a cover up, I'm going to flash the world. I can nurse, without a cover up, and be very discreet and modest. I don't think that nursing is an excuse to model for a public playboy ad, but I don't think most women nursing in public without a cover up are generally flashy. Most women I know, WANT to be discreet. It's HOT under that blanket. Why should my baby eat in a sauna? I don't want to flash my breasts, just feed my child, without roasting her, and it seems as if the assumption is, if I don't cover up, I'm trying to be flashy.Whaddya Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172937573827395583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54127916538262459.post-83327119812417144452012-04-05T20:12:04.365-07:002012-04-05T20:12:04.365-07:00Unfortunately for what you are saying, we live in ...Unfortunately for what you are saying, we live in a world where we may be viewed as sex objects, but I have always been taught to be modest, and that our bodies are temples, so I'm not sharing with the world. ;)mary had a...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07504184748898946799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54127916538262459.post-7883979225067964192012-04-05T18:47:18.315-07:002012-04-05T18:47:18.315-07:00I was only lucky enough to be able to nurse one of...I was only lucky enough to be able to nurse one of my 5 children, but I did nurse in public. I DO think that nursing mothers should do their best to cover up. Just because you have the right to bear your breast to feed your infant doesn't mean everyone should be forced to see it if they happen to glance your way. They have great nursing tops that discreetly hide the breast while not forcing the baby under a heavy blanket.....And Shay, it is not a matter of it being a sex thing, but it sure does fall under being a modest thing. We don't walk around with our boobs hanging out when we aren't nursing. At least I hope not!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18111889172126555168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54127916538262459.post-3029590508386221672012-04-05T18:11:36.831-07:002012-04-05T18:11:36.831-07:00:) I love that you tackled this... and that you ha...:) I love that you tackled this... and that you had someone actually try to disagree a little. It is always interesting to hear how people combat the opposite side and I think you did a great job defending what you believe. I say- go breast feeding mommies! :) My baby has a heat rash from being covered up and it makes me sad.Nichole Gaertnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584502108017859718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54127916538262459.post-78344346550962140312012-04-05T16:27:29.463-07:002012-04-05T16:27:29.463-07:00I don't think it is inconsiderate to nurse wit...I don't think it is inconsiderate to nurse without a cover in public. Often times, it is MORE noticeable and draws more attention to have a cover up. Plus, it is HOT under those cover ups and I consider it more inconsiderate to my child to nurse in a sauna. We wouldn't ask someone who had no hands and therefore had to eat with their feet to cover up because we were uncomfortable watching them eat, so why should my child (and I) be forced to sweat while eating because some people view breasts as a sex symbol and not as the form of healthy sustenance that God provided them to be. The problem there would lie in our over-sexualized society. The whole "riot" is to help change the public opinion of stigma surrounding public breast-feeding. It is an act of love and nourishment, not a sexual act, and shouldn't be viewed as such. My child has a right to eat and I have a right to remain with my party without sweating through a feeding.Whaddya Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172937573827395583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-54127916538262459.post-74946134165064014622012-04-05T14:58:53.671-07:002012-04-05T14:58:53.671-07:00At first when you said they should provide chairs,...At first when you said they should provide chairs, I thought you were going to say so moms can go in there to breastfeed!! I love this, and definitely do the same. I breastfed openly in the Cannon Center on BYU campus last night. Lots of pre-missionary freshman boys did a double-take. Whatevs, they might see it if they go to South America on their missions, might as well get them used to it!Caitlin Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18417848115673458546noreply@blogger.com
